A threat notification

I have no idea what this threat notification(screenshot attached) is about.

Everytime I open the payguard it pops up.

Sometimes it appears when I do not open payguard.

Sometimes I open payguard but this does not appear.

Chrome does microupdates time to time, and TM scans all updates.

As such, you get time to time this message about Chrome microupdates being scanned .

It is a known subject discussed here.

Hi @rpme1996n,

I believe we already have discussed this on your recent post?

Again the pop up message that you are encountering is because of the

Trend Micro detected and scanned files on your Google Chrome browser which downloaded and installed in the background to keep its program version up-to-date.

The Download File Scan feature from Trend Micro notifies you when files downloaded on your Windows computer are either safe or dangerous, preventing malware infection.

You can visit this article for further details to your concern :

Hope this helps !
